Agriculture & Food

Thailand is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of rice, rubber, seafood, tropical fruit, and pet food. The industry stretches from smallholder production through processing, branding, and the logistics that move finished goods to domestic and export buyers. It is the economic base most exposed to weather, commodity cycles, and international trade policy.
